Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
We currently receive £34 per week Working Tax Credit (we live in the UK). Thats just that basic "working couple on low income" rate, as far as I understand.
According to the good lady at the Citizens Advice Bureau, when our baby is born in December and we become "parents of a dependent child" this will go up quite a lot - we will apparently get child tax credit "alongside" Working Tax Credit and the amount of Child Tax Credit will be a lot more than £34.00. Plus it will be possible to claim for childcare expenses (we are low earners).
After being let down so many times by the benefits system when we have been "in need", this just seems too good to be true. Does anyone know what sort of tax credits a low earning couple with one baby can expect to get? I just can't believe what the lady at Citizens Advice told me!!! Surely they aren't that generous!
if you go to the HMRC site and look under child tax credits there is a calculator that should work it out for you
